YouNotes is a digital note-taking app designed for learning, work, and creative thinking. Everything you need is in one place—notes, PDF annotation, an infinite whiteboard, mind maps, text documents, and more. In addition to Apple's built-in drawing tools, YouNotes provides a complete set of creative tools including Lasso Selection, Text, Mind Map, Shapes, and a Laser Pointer, making handwriting, annotation, organization, and layout feel more natural and intuitive. With YouNotes, you can enjoy: • Infinite Canvas Combine mind maps, handwritten notes, images, stickers, and shapes on an unlimited canvas where your ideas can grow without boundaries. • Mind Maps Create expressive mind maps by freely mixing text, images, and handwriting, making your ideas more visual, flexible, and engaging. • Seamless Sync Across Devices Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud Sync, so your notes are always available wherever you are. • Multiple Interaction Modes Choose between Apple Pencil Mode, Finger Drawing Mode, and Reading Mode to match the way you like to work. • Teaching & Presentations Use the built-in Laser Pointer to highlight important content during classes, meetings, or presentations. • Dark Mode Enjoy a comfortable viewing experience at night while reducing eye strain and helping extend battery life. From a simple idea, to a single page of notes, to an entire knowledge system, YouNotes is designed to be your quiet, reliable creative companion—helping every thought become clearer and every note more meaningful. Looking Ahead Traditional note-taking is about recording information, organizing it yourself, and searching for answers on your own. As YouNotes continues to evolve, my vision is to transform it into an AI-powered notebook built for the future. More than just a place to write, YouNotes will integrate powerful AI capabilities that actively support your learning—from capturing ideas to understanding concepts, from asking questions to finding answers. Every note will become more valuable as AI helps organize knowledge, explain complex topics, and solve problems—like having a personal tutor by your side whenever you need one.

A drop zone for the markdown documents your AI assistant writes. MD Inbox watches a folder in iCloud Drive on your Mac. When Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other AI tool saves a markdown file there — a plan, spec, code review, design doc, meeting notes — it appears on your iPhone within seconds. Read it on the go, pin the ones that matter, delete the rest. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick any folder in iCloud Drive as your inbox. 2. Copy a short prompt into your AI agent's system prompt. 3. From now on, finished documents your agent produces show up here.
